Let me start this by saying that had I known this was going down, I may have made an attempt to get over there to get involved. At any rate, some dude on Facebook invited his 100 friends to meet him downtown for a pillow fight. Well, due to the power of Facebook, the thing blossomed into something more significant than 100 people..

Anybody for an Icrontic pillowfight? o.O

30 Sep 2008 ~ 1:23pm Garg Flashmobbing sounds about right. But usually I when I hear of flashmobbing events they have a better idea of how many people might show up. I think it's interesting that 10x as many people came as were invited.

Whatever you call it, it's awesome.

And as a precursor we can do the West Side story gang fight/sing/chant wherein everyone in Michigan comes running out of their homes to join in the fray.
